My husband and I stayed here for the first time for our nieces fifteens this past weekend. We checked in Friday night and checked out Sunday afternoon. Our stay from beginning to end was absolutely perfect. From the valet gentlemen to the bellhop, room service and turn down everything was top notch.
Friday night after checking in we were informed about the events in the area and the hours of the restaurants and bar. Diego took us up to our room along with our luggage and showed us all the ins and outs of the room. My husband absolutely loved the complimentary Nespresso machine in the room. Ana and Maria were absolutely great about keeping our room tidy, organized and fully stocked. The chocolate pillow mints were so good! The room was a good size and the bed was so comfortable. Cleanliness was perfect and I loved the bathroom organization. The tub was spacious enough and the stand up shower had great water pressure, which is a must.
Friday evening we stepped out and walked to Cocowalk, which is about 7 minutes away by foot so nice and convenient. We made our way to the small shopping area and took in a movie at Cinepolis. When we got back to our room we filled out the brochure that you hang on the door for in room dining for an early breakfast. They arrived on time and the presentation was exquisite. The food was delicious. My husband had an omelette and I had the Canadian eggs Benedict, both plates came with a side of potatoes and we split an order of the brioche French toast. The coffee wasn't as good as the Nespresso machine but the fresh lemonade hit the spot. When they bring you your food it comes with enough condiments such as ketchup, Dijon mustard, butter etc. and several slices of whole grain bread. They also bring you water even though the room offers complimentary water bottles.
We stepped out of the hotel for a bit and before making our way down called to valet for our car, when we got to the front lobby our car was waiting for us ready to go. Once we arrived back at the hotel we stopped by the bar/dinner area in the lobby and ordered the pork belly tacos along with a Cuban sandwich and a lemonade then later on a mojito. Service was great and the food came out rather quickly. The area was pretty quiet for it being the lobby so I didn't mind.
Our nieces fifteens that night was in the ballroom and it was beautiful and amazing! The service was great and the bathrooms were clean and fully stocked the entire night.
Sunday night was our check out day so we woke up and packed up but wanted to go downstairs for their brunch so once packed I went ahead and called down for someone to pick up our bags and checked out.
I was excited for brunch since I am a brunch buffet kinda gal! I was a bit disappointed when we got downstairs though, the selection wasn't that grand for such a great hotel. They offer an omelette station, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, mini pancakes and waffles on one side along with different types of mini muffins and different rolls. A mimosa bar, ceviche and raw sushi. On the other side there was wild rice, chicken, salmon and veggies. Then the dessert table offered many types of desserts but to me the only flavorful one was the flan. Service at the restaurant was amazing as well.
Overall I was very pleased when we left the hotel, very memorable stay. Staff was very helpful and genuinely looked happy to please us, even when we asked for our car seat from the car parked in valet and asked for needle and thread Sunday morning. Huge thumbs up to Diego, Ana and Maria!
This is a must stay if your in Coconut Grove!!!
